This is the kind of information that I had in mind:
A lot, if not all, of the grade information comes from signs posted by the state DOTs.

About 26 miles south of the junction of I-40 and I-17 at Flagstaff there is a sign for southbound traffic—"6% grade 2 miles ahead." About ½ mile later there is another sign—"Trucks—vehicles pulling trailers check brakes and equipment—use scenic view." At milepost 312 a sign warns—"6% grade next 13 miles" and ½ mile later the 6% begins. The first 3 ½ miles are fairly steady 6% grade.
